Mountain Hardwear Nut Shell High Gaiter

The Nut Shell High Gaiter by Mountain Hardwear. A clean, streamlined gaiter for backpacking, hiking, or trekking. Constructed out of water-resistant 420D Nylon Packcloth, our Nutshell High Gaiter is a tough, durable all-around option.

I tried the shorter gaiters and now use these taller ones. Very well made and tough. Keep you dry in tall wet grass or snow. I also use them in the rain with only a poncho as my rain gear. Stay fairly dry but much cooler when hiking. Bought them for winter gear, but now use them for three seasons - to hot for summer.

My boyfriend used these for both skiing and also early morning field work during the spring/summer when everything is damp, worked great in both environments, keeping him dry and on the move. He commented that they fit a lot closer then any gaiters that he's used before, but he liked that. he didn't think that the cord that goes under the boot would hold up well because it didn't look very durable, but he's done really well, he was impressed.

These were the first gaiters I've ever bought. They worked very well when the snow in New York was knee deep last winter. I didn't get any snow in my boots and they kept my lower legs dry. So, I'm very pleased with them.

I used these in a foot of snow all day long trekking in the blue ridge mtns of VA. They kept the snow out and were comfortable. These are less expensive than most gaiter in the class and offer the same protection. Mountain Hardware always makes a good quality product.
